Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback. The controls were definitely something I think I just got used to after testing for a while, but the feedback has generally leaned that they are frustrating and wonky. One of the biggest fears was that the controls themselves would be too much a distraction from the game itself, and it seems at this point that that may be the case.
I have just released an update in which I tried to address some of these issues...hopefully when turning with one oar, using the opposite one will no longer keep you spinning in that direction.
I really appreciate your time in checking it out and making a video of it.
Have a great week!
